One of the two remaining tourney spots goes to the winner of a June 5 welterweight Pancrase title fight between Kengo Ura (8-5-1 MMA, 0-0 SRC) and Keiichiro Yamamiya (37-25-9 MMA, 0-1 SRC). The eighth and final spot hasn’t been filled.

Two fighters will punch their tickets to the semifinals next month at the upcoming Sengoku Raiden Championships 13 event, which airs on HDNet.

Nakamura, a UFC and DREAM veteran, fights for the first time in a year. The Japanese fighter has alternated between wins and losses in his past six fights, which included part of a 0-3 stretch in the UFC (with decision losses to Brock Larson, Drew Fickett and Rob Emerson).

His opponent, de la Cruz, may be best known to North American fans at Bellator’s season-one welterweight tournament runner-up. The Dominican fighter topped Victor Meza and former UFC champ Dave Menne before suffering a TKO loss to now-champ Lyman Good in the finale. He’s since rebounded for a win over “The Ultimate Fighter 7″ fighter Prince Mclean at an April C3 event in Oklahoma.

In other action, Wada, a longtime Pancrase fighter, looks to extend his undefeated streak (6-0-2) to nine fights when he meets Lee, a veteran of the South Korean-based SpiritMC organization. Lee, though, recently made his Sengoku debut and suffered a decision loss to Makoto Takimoto in September.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
